Long Xiuguo is the village director of Shuanggou Village, an old acquaintance, and his house is next to the stream on the left side of the village. Two streams converge in Shuanggou Village, and the people in the village call the stream on the left side of the village the upper river, and the stream on the right side of the village as the lower river. The origin of such a name is unknown, Yang Zaixin guessed before that the altitude of the upper river is slightly higher, and when the two rivers converge, the upper river is poured into the lower river.

An ancient bridge crosses the upper river stream, and the ancient bridge is rumored to be 300 years old, and the traces of time are very obvious. Bluestone chips, arched bridges, piers are carved fine grain rough stones, I don't know what to use to build into piers. It is common for mountain streams to rise, and every time there is a heavy rain or flash flood, it will always flood the stone bridge, at least, for so long, the bridge has been strong.

According to the people in the drama village, in the 60s and 80s, experts made a special trip to Shuanggou Village to see the bridge. There is also a bridge on the other side of the river, but the bridge now only leaves a low stone pier, and on the side of the stone pier, a wooden bridge is built in the air, and the safety is naturally not as reliable as the old bridge on the river.

Walking to the ancient bridge, Yang Zaixin had also seen the bridge carefully, but today he walked to the bridge again, thinking that if this point is developed into a leisure base, this bridge is a good endorsement, and it is an absolutely attractive two points to see.

Walking to the stream, under the bridge is a simple dock, where people from the village do laundry, wash vegetables, etc., and children come here to swim on hot days. When you go to the water's edge, wash the sweat on your body first, and then look at the ancient bridge. The simple bridge body gives a sense of thickness and reliability, with some moss growing in the cracks of the stone, and the stones and piers are finely carved bluestone.

"Director Yang. Yang Zaixin suddenly heard a shout, but it was Long Xiuguo who came out of the house, saw Yang Zaixin under the bridge, and greeted him warmly. "I thought you were going to be in town for some time and was about to pick you up on a motorcycle. ”

"Hello Director Long. Yang Zaixin didn't hide his demeanor when he saw him, and he felt better, "From today on, I will settle in Shuanggou Village, and I will trouble Director Long to take care of him more." ”

"What kind of politeness does Director Yang have with me, a farmer? You are a great talent with strong ability, and it is a blessing for us Shuanggou Village to come to our village. Long Xiuguo walked quickly across the bridge and went to Yang Zaixin's side under the bridge, "Let's go, let's go to the village first." ”

The two turned back, and while walking Long Xiuguo introduced the situation in the village, they did not talk about Yang Zaixin. When I entered the village department, I left the village department open, and there were some fruits in the village living room, which were obviously prepared first. A watermelon was soaked in a basin on the side, and the tap water was running all the time, apparently chilling the watermelon.

After opening the watermelon, Long Xiuguo handed Yang Zaixin a large piece and said, "Taste it, the village grows and produces its own products, but it is not large-scale, and it is mainly eaten by yourself." ”

Also, if you transport watermelons from Shuanggou Village to the town or to the county seat, the cost of the road is larger than that of people in other villages, which is not cost-effective.

"Thank you. Yang Zaixin took the melon slices, sat down, and Long Xiuguo took a piece to eat himself, the melon was sweet and pure, and it was cold. After eating the melon, Long Xiuguo handed Yang Zaixin a cigarette, Yang Zaixin shook his hand and refused, he said he didn't smoke.

"Director Yang, when you come to the village, smoking and drinking are inevitable. Long Xiuguo said, "Director Yang, what kind of person are you, who doesn't know what they think in Hengzhi County? Those people in the county don't know what they think." ”

"I'm just an errand runner, everywhere I go. ”

"Qu Cai, it's cheaper for our Shuanggou Village. Long Xiuguo laughed as he spoke, and then became serious again, "For so many years in Hengzhi County, who can do practical things for the local area like Zhang County? Who knows, such people make people jealous. ”

"Zhang County really wants to do a lot of practical things, but the foundation of Hengzhi County is too poor, and his talents have not been well developed. "Yang Zaixin is not good at talking about his boss in front of Long Xiuguo, and there are some things that he really can't say.

"Who doesn't know the situation in Hengzhi County? But over the years, there have been a lot of people who have benefited, and they are ordinary people, and they can't say anything in their hearts, and they can't change anything if they say it. Even if village cadres like us report the situation in Zhang County to the city, I am afraid that there is no way. However, I believe that Zhang County will definitely be cleared. ”

"Thank you. Yang Zaixin is very grateful for Long Xiuguo's attitude. Zhang Tongjun is his great benefactor, and Yang Zaixin will not forget the grace of carrying and knowing.

"It should be the people of Hengzhi County who thank Zhang County. Long Xiuguo then changed the topic, "Director Yang came to the village, does he live in the village department or in my house?"

"The village department, this is also the county's requirement for cadres stationed in the village. Food and housing are in the village. By the way, although I knew about the work in the village before, it was very superficial, and I had to ask the village officials to help me more. ”

"Director Yang, please rest assured, the hearts of the people in Shuanggou Village are not black, and they also know who is good and who is not. Long Xiuguo said loudly, outside, there were a few people who came, and they were other main cadres in the village.

The village backbone has different equipment in different places, and it is not exactly the same. The village committee is divided into: village director (village head), comprehensive management and people's livelihood, director of the women's federation and health planning and literature, discipline inspection and supervision, discipline inspection and supervision and discipline inspection and supervision committee, and village committee members. The two systems overlap again, and most of them have two positions for one person, and they work part-time in the branch and village committee at the same time.

The situation on the side of Shuanggou Village is six backbones, in addition to Long Xiuguo, there is also Long Changshan is the branch secretary, Long Xiuguo's uncle. Ding Huiyun is the director of the Women's Federation, a middle-aged woman of 40 years, Long Chenghai is the comprehensive management officer, Zhang Bing is the discipline inspection committee, and the village committee member is Long Lizhi.

Yang Zhengxin knew all these people, and when Long Xiuguo saw them coming, he solemnly introduced them again. Only the branch secretary Long Changshan did not come, and it was not that Long Changshan looked down on Yang Zhengxin, but that the branch secretary was in his fifties, got up early every day to drink two or two drinks, and then got drunk one day, and was not a director.

The town and county are also clear about the situation in Longchang Mountain, and they have said several times that they want to adjust him, but Long Xiuguo and others do not approve. In the village, the clan relationship always exists and cannot be completely eliminated, and the people in the village get along with each other in their own way, which cannot be completely framed by the rules of the unit.

Long Changshan did not appear today, and Yang Zaixin did not think so.

These people arrived and expressed their welcome. After the introduction, Ding Huiyun said with a smile, "Director Yang is young and handsome, coming to the village to help us will definitely inspire the whole village to be motivated." ”

"Thank you, it's very good not to cause trouble for everyone, I don't understand the things in the village yet, I just told Director Long, I want to ask you to help more." Yang Zhengxin said.

"Sister-in-law Ding, isn't it very thoughtful for the handsome guy to enter the village?" Long Chenghai said with a smile, looking at Ding Huiyun and looking at Yang Zaixin. In the village, such jokes are very common, and among the cadres of the administrative mouth, the same is true, Yang Zaixin usually follows Zhang Tongjun's side, although he hears less but listens a lot. At this time, I didn't care.

"Absolutely, I can't sleep tonight. Ding Huiyun said with a smile.
